The crash happened around 8:30 a.m. when the driver of the car ran off the road and hit a tree.

According to a police spokesman, 31-year-old Latonya Hunt was a passenger in the vehicle. She was taken to University Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

The driver and the other passenger were also taken to University Hospital with serious injuries.

Police said they are still unclear on what caused the crash.

"We are talking to some witnesses that may have seen what happened prior to that. It may have been a tire issue, but again we are going to examine and look at all the aspects of what could have happened and our investigators are trained with that and will hopefully have more of a definitive answer down the line," police spokesman Dwight Mitchell said.
